laughGood day everyone...

Wow, the semester started with a bang. All the assignments and tests are difficult to manage, but one thing I learned so far on this journey is that planning your time is key. 

I really enjoy this LSKM module. I don't know much about music and that is why I find it so interesting to see and learn new concepts and ideas. I now can form my own ideas on this topic. 

Some of the things that really stood out for me during this study unit was on how you can incorporate music in a classroom where there are children with special needs. Music can really help children with special needs like trauma, movement abilities and much more. Incorporating the music you engage their senses by hearing the music, feeling the instrument, smelling the wood of the instrument, seeing the different instruments and by moving on the music and rhythms. 

Some new things I learned was that of the music elements. All the new concepts and what they are were really interesting for me. I especially enjoyed the notes and rhythms, because I never knew how to read it and what it may mean. 

One of the reflective questions that stood out for me was on how important singing is in the classroom. Singing sets the tone and "vibe" in the classroom. It also learns children skills that they can incorporate in their daily life. 

I enjoyed this study unit and I am excited to see what is to come.
